No – our Fire Safety Awareness courses do not include live fire extinguisher practice. While this used to be a common feature of older Fire Marshal training, it’s no longer a requirement for Qualsafe Awards certification.
We’ve chosen not to include this element due to several factors – cost, insurance limitations, environmental impact, and health and safety considerations. Instead, we focus on ensuring learners are confident in identifying the right extinguisher for the job, understanding how to use it safely, and knowing when (and when not) to attempt to tackle a fire.
